Abstract
Description
where m is the diffraction order, and F0 is the focal length at wavelength λ0. When the quantity pλ0/mλ is set equal to unity, several wavelengths within a given band can come to a common focus. Hence p is a construction parameter and is usually constant across the lens radius, and the wavelengths that are focused to a common point are chosen from a set of diffraction orders, i.e., multi-order diffractive lenses. Alternatively, in an other embodiment, the
